I thought I better talk about wearing sunscreen around your eyes! I don’t think I mentioned that you can put the same sunscreen that you put on your face around your eyes too! In fact, that would be ideal! Given that most sunscreens or should I say moisturizers with sunscreen within do not provide very good UVA protection. So dab some sunscreen all around your eyes and eyelids!
Just make sure if does not sting your eyelids or eyes. Especially oily girls, some sunscreen may seep into your eyes and sting so it is just another time of trial and error. Other than that there is no problem with using the same sunscreen! This idea goes right along with your nighttime moisturizer too, you can also use that around your eyes. Special eye creams are just another way for skincare companies to get more money out of ya. Just be sure not to use a huge glob, dab a little bit around your eyes. Your eyelids will tell you if they need more moisture or not.
Now if you insist in using a special eye cream with sunscreen make sure to read the active labels! One that I think that has decent, not good, but decent UVA protection is Neutrogena’s Healthy eyes SPF30. This sunscreen is physical so be careful about not mixing it with your chemical face sunscreen! It also only has a UVA protection of 3 or 4. Remember 8 is good for everyday.
Now some people may think that this is fine. I just think that the eyes are usually the first to show aging, so if there is anyway to wear a higher UVA protective sunscreen, then wear it! However, you do have to use what you can tolerate, afford, and obtain easily. So wear this sunscreen if you must. Although, I have heard that Hawaiian Tropics Baby Faces and Tender Places SPF 50 works good around the eye area as well. I will let you know how I like this one soon. And I will keep my eyes open for more options out there!
Always remember to wear your sunglasses every time you go outside too!
